Citizens Advice responds to the government's announcement of improved protection for disabled people transitioning onto Universal Credit

8 Mehefin 2018

Responding to the government’s announcement of improved protection for people who receive the Severe Disability Premium, Gillian Guy, chief executive at Citizens Advice said:

“The government’s improved protection for people who receive the Severe Disability Premium is a welcome move that will mean better financial security for many disabled people who move onto Universal Credit.

“The government now needs to ensure that protection is in place for all disabled people who face losses moving onto Universal Credit, and that adequate financial support is in place for new claimants who are disabled.

“We support the aims and principles of Universal Credit but it is essential that the benefit is delivered effectively. It’s therefore reassuring the government is continuing to make changes to Universal Credit. We will continue to monitor Universal Credit closely as it is introduced across the country.”
